I’ve received some version of this a few times today:
Kathryn, I was very offended by that quote from Mrs. Obama about how her husband could get shot going to the gas station. People who lived in the DC area in the fall of 2002 remember when the snipers killed a man and a woman innocently doing business at gas stations. After that, people angled be have their car or the pump between their bodies and the street, or ducked down when filling the tank. And we were told it would be racist to think the killers might be black. Well guess what? The killers were black, and you can be shot at the gas station whether you’re Indian, Hispanic, white, or anything else.
